When I first got the call my initial thought was that you’d finally lost it….right up until the point when I arrived at Comfy Towers I thought that it might be some kind of wind up, but how wrong I was and how I had under estimated just how involved and enthused I would become in the project. My kids are all grown up now and the nursery rhyme thing had sort of passed me by, so after the initial count in to Hickory Dickory Dock I felt this real enjoyable buzz and I was just amazed that I knew each and every one of the tunes that were called. When I got home after the session I got straight on line to try and see just what children’s music was all about, and of course Ian you were right. Track after track was just so dissapointing and so lifeless that I realised what you were trying to do and how great this project was going to be.
Now that the album has been released it has been greatly recieved by many of my contemporarys within the music industry and many of my friends with children of not only nursary age but young teenagers as well. I even heard my son playing along with the album the other afternoon and he’s fifteen!
I have in my 30 years of making music played on literally thousands of recordings in countless studio envioronments but I can quite honestly say that this has been one of the most enjoyable projects that I have had the privilege to take part in.
